As usual :D, I remember long time ago I was typing and all of a sudden I changed the color of selected text in MS word. I guess I ran into a hotkey. I can't remember what it was and I couldn't find it by googling...

By any chance, do you guys know any hotkey for this purpose? It really comes in handy during your life time :p

I guess I recall like I pressed R key somehow along with other things and it turned red...so yea it should be a combination of some keys plus a letter indicating the color you're interested in....and I was using XP word at that time...now I'm using Word 2010
